How this is worked out

|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 40.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.32 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Hague Bar Primary School
Overview
Hague Bar Primary School is described as a “welcoming and inclusive small school with a family feel” where pupils are “happy and safe.” The inspection confirms that the school continues to be good, highlighting strong relationships, effective teaching in core subjects, and a curriculum that helps pupils “know and remember more over time.”
Strengths
- Pupils are “polite and respectful,” with no bullying reported and older children taking care of younger ones.
- Mathematics is taught well, with staff providing frequent opportunities for pupils to recap knowledge and use “mathematical vocabulary appropriately.”
- Reading is a priority; pupils follow a structured phonics programme and become “confident, enthusiastic and ambitious readers.”
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) “matches their needs precisely,” ensuring they learn in a way that is right for them.
- The governing body works effectively with leaders, and staff workload and well-being are considered.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure that the implementation and impact of the curriculum on pupils’ ability to know and remember more over time is checked effectively, as they are currently at an early stage of measuring this.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a “strong culture of safeguarding,” comprehensive records, and prompt referrals where required.
